Changing each possession

Hi, I am reading an news article about Bill Russel's death.

Can someone help me understand what "Changing possession" means here?

Possession seems to be about which team has the ball in basketball, but I am not sure.


Thank you!!

----------------------------------------

At the University of San Francisco — hardly a basketball powerhouse — he played under coach Phil Woolpert, who preached a style predicated on hard-nosed defense, a system that helped Russell explode into a national phenomenon.

His trademark move? He jumped. He eschewed defensive tradition, refuusing to keep his feet on the ground, changing each possession, as well as the sport itself.
